i find it rather sticky that one must obtain a permit to exercise a 2a right and thats only if the state theyre in allows it.
I agree with you completely. Requiring a permit in order to exercise a Constitutional right is certainly nothing if not an infringement on that right. In Heller, though, the Court gave deference to long-standing prohibitions on concealed carry, so the issue isn't ripe for a court challenge yet. Perhaps in the future, as more and more states adopt so-called "Constitutional Carry" laws and the streets don't run red with blood.....
